Rumer Willis recalls childhood moment that sparked her love for movies
Hollywood actress Rumer Willis has opened up about the very moment she fell in love with the world of cinema, revealing that her passion for acting was sparked during her childhood visit to the set of the 1996 film Striptease, in which her mother Demi Moore played the lead role. In a candid interview, Rumer, now 36, shared a nostalgic memory from her early years that shaped her path in showbiz. 'I was just so enamoured and kind of like, 'What is this world? What's going on here?'' she recalled, describing the excitement and curiosity she felt while on set. The film, which starred Demi Moore as an FBI secretary-turned-stripper, gave Rumer a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the glamorous yet gritty world of filmmaking. Far from being fazed by the film's adult themes, Rumer found herself captivated by the costumes and energy of the set. 'During lunch sometimes I would go try and put my mom's shoes on and a feather boa and dance around the stage,' she fondly remembered. Rumer admitted that being surrounded by actresses and performers left a lasting impression on her. 'There were all these ladies around me all the time. I was just so enamoured,' she said. Striptease faced criticism upon its release, with Demi Moore confronting backlash for her bold role. In an interview, Moore reflected on the judgment she faced, saying, 'There was an interesting kind of judgement placed on a woman who worked as a dancer, but the idea was that this was a woman trying to take care of her child in the best way she could.' Despite the controversies, Moore's performance marked a pivotal moment in her career. She became the highest-paid actress in Hollywood during the mid-90s and remains proud of the impact she made. 'I changed the playing field for all women,' she affirmed. Rumer's memories of that time not only highlight the bond she shares with her mother but also underscore the powerful influence of growing up in a creative and unapologetically bold environment—one that clearly helped shape her future in film.

Rumer Willis became 'enamoured' with films after shooting Striptease
Rumer Willis fell in love with the movie business on the set of 'Striptease'. The 36-year-old actress starred alongside Demi Moore, her mom, in the 1996 movie, and Rumer relished the experience of working on a film set at such a young age, admitting that she "loved every second" of the shoot. Rumer told People: "I was just so enamoured and kind of like, 'What is this world? What's going on here?'" The actress actually remembers dancing in her mom's shoes during lunch breaks. She said: "I loved the costumes. "During lunch sometimes I would go try and put my mom's shoes on and a feather boa and dance around the stage." Demi played an FBI secretary-turned-stripper in the movie, and Rumer still remembers her mom shooting a number of racy scenes. She shared: "I was like, oh, there's all these ladies around me all the time. I was just so enamoured." Demi, 62, previously admitted that she felt judged for playing a stripper in the film. The actress hit back at critics of 'Striptease', suggesting that she was treated unfairly at the time it was released. Speaking to Variety in 2024, Demi said: "There was an interesting kind of judgement placed on a woman who worked as a dancer, but the idea was that this was a woman trying to take care of her child in the best way she could." Demi became the highest-paid actress in the mid-90s, and she feels proud of herself for "changing the playing field for all women". However, Demi still feels bemused by how she was portrayed at the time. The actress - who was married to Bruce Willis between 1987 and 2000 - recalled: "I did 'Striptease' and 'G.I. Jane' back to back. If anything in this industry has ever been stacked against me, it was having those two films come out at the same time and becoming the highest-paid actress on top of that. "That moment was so powerful for me because it wasn't just about me; it was about changing the playing field for all women. "But, because I was portraying a stripper, I betrayed women. And because I played a soldier, I betrayed men."

Demi Moore would 'definitely' embrace her greys
Demi Moore is happy to embrace her grey hairs. The 62-year-old actress believes that she could have a really "striking" look if she decides to embrace her grey hairs. Demi told People: "I look at women who have that incredible grey, especially long, and I think it's striking. "I would definitely do it. I just don't have enough to make it interesting. Mine's like a smattering that makes my hair look murky. I didn't really start colouring my hair until I was, like, 55." Demi actually dyed her hair blonde to star in 'The Butcher's Wife', the 1991 rom-com that also starred Jeff Daniels. The Hollywood actress actually enjoyed going blonde for the role, but she admitted that damaged her hair. She said: "It was a very fun time to have blonde hair. "I think on that path of trying to figure out who you are, what works, what doesn't work, it's this great time of experimenting and discovery. What I did realise very quickly is that dyeing your own hair blond trashes it. That's what I found it. But it was fun while I had it." Demi famously had a buzz cut to portray Lieutenant Jordan O'Neill in 'G.I. Jane', the 1997 action movie. But the actress is unlikely to shave her hair off again. She reflected: "I feel fairly connected to my hair in a different kind of way. There's energy in hair, you know? But I never like to say never." Meanwhile, Demi previously claimed that she's helped to change the landscape for actresses in Hollywood. The movie star suggested that she deserves more credit for making movies such as 'G.I. Jane' and 'Striptease'. Demi told Variety: "If I really look at 'G.I. Jane', there was a faction of people out to shut that movie down before it even opened. "I did 'Striptease' and 'G.I. Jane' back to back. If anything in this industry has ever been stacked against me, it was having those two films come out at the same time and becoming the highest-paid actress on top of that." Demi believes that her movies and her success triggered a change in the film business. She said: "That moment was so powerful for me because it wasn't just about me; it was about changing the playing field for all women. But because I was portraying a stripper, I betrayed women. And because I played a soldier, I betrayed men."
